Las Vegas Hotel Reviews

If your planning on going to Las Vegas we have listed some of the hottest places to be. How are you planning on ringing in the New Year?

Strip Fireworks Show: Watch as Las Vegas Blvd is transformed in to the world’s largest night club with fireworks going off over your head.  The best and cheapest place to celebrate New Years Eve is right on the Las Vegas strip. The strip is closed down and is only open to pedestrians.  Keep in mind that the weather will be warmer on the strip than in Time Square so dress accordingly, you can also drink on the Vegas strip.

The world’s highest profile poker tournament is under way at the Rio Hotel, with 55 championship events and a twist to its main event that will keep players in suspense until November.The World Series of Poker started just after noon Friday with the start of a $10,000 pot-limit Texas Hold ‘em tournament.

The most expensive buy-in will be US$50,000 for a tournament called H.O.R.S.E, where players rotate between five poker games according to a time schedule.

Seven other tournaments will cost $10,000 to get in, including the main event, a no-limit Texas Hold ‘em tournament that likely will carry the highest prize.

This year, the field of thousands will be whittled down by mid-July to a final table of nine, who then will take a four-month break before finishing the tournament in November.

Premiere night for Cher in Las Vegas was a  formal, star-studded event to start off the show scheduled later this month. Cher’s children, Chastity Bono and Elijah Blue Allman, attended, as did Las Vegas Hilton headliner Barry Manilow and retired Vegas illusionists Roy and Siegfried Fischbacher.
“She’s just the greatest,” said Heinze, who with Alexander had spent $1,500 on this two-night trip. “It’s a small price to pay.”

On stage, Cher greeted her audience warmly if nervously.

“You guys are first-nighters, so you’ll be the first kids on your block to see this,” she confided to the sold-out crowd of 4,000 in the theater made famous by Celine Dion and co-occupied these days by Bette Midler and Elton John. “We have things that are so unbelievable — if they work!”

By and large, everything did, although the show ran nearly two hours and is expected to be shorn to a Vegas-standard 90 minutes. Cher barreled with great energy through I Found Someone, All Or Nothing and Love Is A Battlefield, and slowed down appropriately for ballads Love Hurts and Walking in Memphis. A highlight came with the love song After All, for which she arrived on stage standing in a boat wearing a gray, body-length, fur-collared robe and a pointy silver cap standing in a boat. In all, she sang about 17 songs live; at least three were presented entirely in videos during costume changes.

Her band is prominently stationed on the stage throughout, the performer herself leaned over to high-five audience members as she rocked through Song For The Lonely and the show does not build theatrical stories around the songs. At the end, after she sauntered around the stage in the skin-baring black outfit and big black wig associated with her hit If I Could Turn Back Time, the audience is forced to applaud for almost five minutes before she does the predictable encore of Believe. Dion, Midler and John don’t do encores.

Indeed, the concert-like sensibility led to some confused expectations. Groups of fans, upon hearing the first strains of If I Could Turn Back Time, raced to the front and into the aisles to dance, only to be directed back to their seats. And, while fan-pleasing, this production borrowed heavily from features from a variety of tours while throwing in such dashes of Vegas elements as aerialists and acrobats doing some sequences also seen in specific Cirque du Soleil shows at neighboring hotels.

Ultimately, the factor driving the ebb and flow here was not the music or Cher’s personality but her 15 or so costume changes, usually occurring after just one or two songs at a time. The production felt like a Cher-scored Bob Mackie fashion show, with Cher disappearing repeatedly for minutes at a time to change into yet another outlandish get-up of sequins, rhinestones and bizarre headpieces that also showed plenty of skin. The repeated use of video montages, mostly from her Sonny and Cher days, and lengthy Cher-less dance routines that included a rendition of YMCA complete with Village People impersonators to encouraging the audience to play along, prompted grumbles from audience members who had paid in many cases more than $300 a seat. (An obvious vertical tear in one of the gigantic screens was also distracting.)

But the emphasis on Cher’s trademark fashion sense didn’t bother Naomi Ryan, 33, of Chicago, who toted with her a decorated sailor’s cap to toss on stage during If I Could Turn Back Time, a Cher concert tradition ever since her 1989 video in which the singer dons one on the deck of the USS Missouri.

Oprah Winfrey will reportedly take her top-rated talk show to the Las Vegas Strip this week. According to The Las Vegas Review-Journal, Winfrey is hosting a Vegas special on April 26th with special guests Tina Turner and Cher from Caesar’s Palace Hotel, where Cher begins a performing residency on May 6th. Winfrey last taped from Las Vegas in 2003 for an episode celebrating the launch of Celine Dion’s A New Day show.
